FAQs: Pet-friendly holidays in Puerto del Carmen
What's the best time of year to take my dog to Puerto del Carmen?
Summer in the Canary Islands is a lot milder than it is in mainland Spain. You can expect daily averages of 25°C in July and August, which isn't so bad for humans - but can be deadly for dogs, particularly those with longer fur. Given that the summer months are also the busiest, you might prefer to wait for another time of year for your dog-friendly getaway to Puerto del Carmen. In Lanzarote, the coldest months, December and January, still see daily averages of 17°C, so the weather is never particularly cold. Any time from autumn to spring is a good time to bring your pet to Lanzarote.
Where are the best dog beaches around Puerto del Carmen?
In mainland Spain, many beaches allow dogs on a seasonal basis. That's not the case in the Canary Islands, where the year-round good weather means that humans may still want to enjoy a dog-free beach even in winter. Luckily, there are some dog beaches near Puerto del Carmen for you and your pet to explore. Playa de las Coloradas is near Puerto del Carmen, in the south of the island, and permits dogs from 7:00 to 10:00 am, and again from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. Playa de Guacimeta, located near Lanzarote Airport, allows dogs at all times of day. It has calm waters, ideal for pups who love to splash around.
Where can I find a dog park in Puerto del Carmen?
Although Lanzarote is a small island, there are a few dog parks near Puerto del Carmen for you to try. The closest - and the best - is the Parque Canino in Playa Blanca, a little to the south of Puerto del Carmen. Spread out over 2,000 square metres, this modern park boasts some agility equipment which will let your pup blow off some steam on a fun obstacle course. There's also a dog park in Arrecife, with agility equipment set in a sandy area.
Can I bring my dog to a café or restaurant with me in Puerto del Carmen?
As a rule of thumb, dogs are usually allowed on the terraces of cafés and restaurants, both in mainland Spain and in the Canary Islands. There are some exceptions, so always check with the waiter before you sit down. Very few restaurants allow dogs into the dining room. Given the sunny weather and year-round pleasant temperatures in Puerto del Carmen, that probably won't be a problem - this is a place where it's always nice to eat outdoors! The majority of restaurants and bars in Lanzarote have terraces, so you'll always find somewhere you can eat with your pet.
What essentials should I know before I take my dog to Puerto del Carmen?
Although Spain is a dog-friendly country, there are still some important laws to consider. You must keep your dog on a lead in public, unless you are in a designated area; some breeds must also be muzzled. You will need to carry bags to clean up after your dog or face a fine. You may also want to take a squirty bottle of water to rinse off any wet patches, as Spanish dog owners do. Watch out for protected areas where birds tend to nest; these are strictly off-limits to dogs, so make sure your pet is well under control if you go near one of them.
